NBA Player Jason Collins: Yep, I’m Gay

NBA player Jason Collins is coming out of the closet, admitting that he’s gay. Collins opened up about his sexuality in the new issue of Sports Illustrated. “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.”

“I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, ‘I’m different.’ If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand,” Collins explains.

While Collins is currently a free agent, he says he wanted to be honest with people about his sexuality before signing with a new team. “I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful.”

Collins also discussed his NBA career, and any actions that may seem questionable now that he’s out. “I’m not afraid to take on any opponent. I love playing against the best. Though Shaquille O’Neal is a Hall of Famer, I never shirked from the challenge of trying to frustrate the heck out of him. (Note to Shaq: My flopping has nothing to do with being gay.)”

Wait … Did Tank Just Admit To Performing Oral Sex On Men???

What in the world did he just say? That was the exact question fans asked after Tank made a comment during a show that sounded like: “I’ve been sucking d*ck and foreheads for for 40 years.”

Instantly, fans started to raise eyebrows because the remark, which came out of left field, sounded like the singer admitted to performing oral sex on men.

Tank does have history with the LGBTQIA community. Earlier this year, he perfumed at D.C. pride — a few years ago transgender model and Star actress Amiyah Scott, even once blasted the singer for allegedly sliding into her DMS. But also in 2014, the 41-year-old exposed a gay fan for sending him a photo of his gentials.

Meanwhile, HH has talked with Tank and his wife on several occasions and there’s no doubt this man loves the mother of his children. So naturally, we too drew the “what the hell” question.

The singer, however, exclusively clarified his comments to us and suggested, “Yall tried it!..lol ‘suckin dents in foreheads’ has been used as a term for eating c**chie for years..lol.”

He added on our social media page, “Stop it and just go get the album this Friday SAVAGE 9/29!”
